Events

On December 20, 2025, Asawana Farms was deeply honored to be invited to participate in the Stronger Together – Sickle Cell Wellness and Transition Fair, a powerful and timely event organized by The Ruby Ball Foundation at the Pepco Edison Gallery in Washington, DC. This gathering brought together sickle cell patients, caregivers, advocates, researchers, medical institutions, and community-based organizations with one shared goal: improving quality of life and health outcomes for people living with sickle cell disease.

On November 1, 2025, something truly special happened at Asawana Farms.
Our fields — usually filled with the quiet rhythm of planting, compost turning, and harvesting — buzzed with excitement as we welcomed Katherine Braga, Prince George’s County Food Security Program Manager, and Erica Turner, Acting Director of the Prince George’s County Department of Social Services.

On a bright Saturday morning, September 27, 2025, Asawana Farms welcomed the Moms, Senior Teens, and 21 bright young children from the Jack and Jill of America – Prince George’s County Chapter for what became an unforgettable Morning of Growth, Culture, and Community.

On October 18, 2025, Asawana Farms had the incredible honor of hosting a group of passionate individuals from the UM Capital Region Food is Medicine (FIM) Program. Among them were patients on a journey to better health and a dedicated resident physician, all united by one common belief: that food is not just nourishment — it’s medicine.

On behalf of everyone at Asawana Farms and the Urban Farm Incubator (UFI), we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who joined us for the 1st Annual Maryland Farm Tours. It was a joyful, inspiring day filled with connection, learning, storytelling, and — of course — vegetables! Your presence made the event a true celebration of urban agriculture, global food traditions, and community-powered sustainability.
